Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) are two common dental regenerative procedures used to repair periodontal defects caused by periodontitis. In both procedures, a barrier membrane is placed at the interface between the soft tissue and the periodontal defect, serving to impede the infiltration of soft tissue while creating a secluded space for periodontal regeneration. Recently, barrier membranes based on chitosan (CS) have emerged as a promising avenue for these applications. However, despite numerous studies on the development of CS-based membranes, comprehensive review articles specifically addressing their progress in GTR/GBR applications remain scarce. Herein, we review recent research and advancements in the use of CS-based membranes for periodontal GTR and GBR. The review begins by highlighting the advantageous properties of CS that make it a suitable biomaterial for GTR/GBR applications. Next, the development of composite CS-based membranes, reinforced with various compositions like bioactive fillers and therapeutic agents, is discussed in detail based on recent literature, with a focus on their enhanced efficacy in promoting periodontal regeneration. Finally, the review explores the emergence of functionally graded CS-based membranes, emphasizing their potential to address specific challenges encountered in GTR/GBR procedures.

The poor disposal and lack of utilization of corn cob (CC) and corn silk (CS) generate environmental problems. This research aimed to develop CC and CS-based ingredients (1 : 1, 1 : 2, and 2 : 1 mixtures) and evaluate the gastrointestinal bioaccessibility of selected polyphenols and their anti-inflammatory effect. (+)-Catechin, gallic acid, and -coumaric acid were detected (HPLC-DAD) at all digestion stages and are the major contributors to the observed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects .

In the developing cochlea, just before the onset of hearing on postnatal day 12, the medial olivocochlear efferent axons in synaptic contact with the inner hair cells (IHCs) start withdrawing and new efferent synaptic connections are formed on the outer hair cells (OHCs), thereby progressing towards the adult pattern of medial olivocochlear efferent innervation. The synapses are inhibitory, calcium influx through the α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) driving opening of calcium-dependent potassium channels. The nAChRs appear to function similarly in IHCs and OHCs, although with probable kinetic differences.

Background: Using endodontic sealers with long-term antimicrobial properties can increase the success of endodontic treatment. This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial activity over time of two calcium silicate (CS)-based sealers, AH Plus Bioceramic and BioRoot RCS, and to compare them with an epoxy resin-based sealer, AH Plus Jet, against mature polymicrobial biofilms grown on human radicular dentin.
Methods: The antimicrobial activity of the sealers was tested using a direct contact test after 1 and 6 weeks of contact with the biofilms.
